school daze


i am a teacher. and having just started the school year, am reminded of the exhaustion felt immediately following the first few days. how quickly i forget, and every year at the start of school i ask myself if i felt this way last september...tired? stuffy nose? sore throat? body aches? and the september before that and the one before that and so on. and then i ask myself is it really the readjustment to school life or could it simply be seasonal allergies? and though i greatly enjoy teaching and find such pure joy from the idiosyncracies, humor, and innocent spirit of children, my current physical state sure makes me long for summer.
